Service brake

Brake pedal
Overuse of the brake can cause weakening, resulting in poor
brake response and premature wear of the brake pads.
When driving down a long or steep hill, use engine braking by
downshifting.
● Even in “2WD” or “TARMAC” mode, the vehicle
cannot be towed with the front or the rear wheels on
the ground.
WARNING
!
● Do not crank the engine while jacking up the vehi-
cle.
The tire on the ground may turn and the vehicle
may roll off the jack.
CAUTION
!
WARNING
!
● Do not leave any objects near the brake pedal or let
a floor mat slide under it; doing so could prevent the
full pedal stroke that would be necessary in an emer-
gency. Make sure that the pedal can be operated
freely at all times. Make sure the floor mat is
securely held in place.
CAUTION
!
● It is important not to drive the vehicle with your foot
resting on the brake pedal when braking is not
required. This practice can result in very high brake
temperatures, premature lining wear, and possible
damage to the brakes.
